That does sound better. LOL! I was thinking of looking at the stars and the moon with the telescope, though. Here it just sits. Too much light and too many trees around for a clear view of the night sky.

Yeah, it does help to have a clear shot to see the moon and stars with the telescope. Trees and streetlights do put a damper on that.

What’s neat is to aim the scope at a spot that looks blank. Look and there are a gazillion stars in view.
I imagine in space, where there’s no atmosphere, it must be an amazing sight.
